"It's hard enough to raise a family in the traditional sense. I sacrifice a lot of my personal self for the sake of my family. Would that be the case in the long term for a gay couple like Melissa Etheridge and her ex for instance?

Good point - but I haven't heard a peep from the gay-rights crowd about the OBLIGATIONS of family.

It's just "we're entitled to this... we want to have access to that...".

For most gays agitating for marriage, it's another opportunity to GET SOMETHING.

Hey, you can be gay all day long, I really don't care - but who is going to pay for all these freebies you are demanding?

Me, that's who.

So take a leap, twinkletoes. (And I mean that in the nicest way possible.)

In the USA, the ABA sponsored Model Divorce Code has children as "accessories" to marriage. The ABA (and the left) does not include children in marriage. The ABA envisions marriage as a mere expression of sex between people.

That is their purpose, to convert marriage from a raising children driven institution into a adult activity mere contract.
